Description
Before birth B-cells develop in the fetal liver (FL). Here we show that Gli3 activity in the FL stroma is required for B-cell development. In the Gli3-deficient FL B-cell development was reduced at multiple stages, whereas the Sonic hedgehog (Shh)-deficient FL showed increased B-cell development, and Gli3 functioned to repress Shh transcription. Use of a transgenic Hedgehog (Hh)-reporter mouse showed that Shh signals directly to developing B-cells, and that Hh pathway activation was increased in developing B-cells from Gli3-deficient fetal liver. RNAsequencing confirmed that Hh-mediated transcription is increased in B-lineage cells from Gli3-deficient FL, and showed that these cells expressed reduced levels of B-lineage transcription factors and BCR/pre-BCR-signalling genes. We showed that expression of the master regulators of B-cell development, Ebf1 and Pax5, is reduced in developing B-cells from Gli3-deficient FL and increased in Shh-deficient FL, and that in vitro Shh-treatment or neutralisation can repress or induce their expression respectively. Overall design: Wildtype and Gli3 mutant (Gli3+/- and Gli3-/-) (n=2) embryonic day 17.5 fetal livers were sorted for CD19+B220+ cells. RNA extracted from these cells was sequenced to help understand the transcriptional changes governing B cell development in the Gli3 mutants.

Description
In this study we plan to compare the profiles of control sample (C) with the disease (FSGS) samples to identify differentially expressed genes. We hope to identify genes that are specifically activated in response to treatment with FSGS plasma. Overall design: Upregulated genes on incubating with plasma from recurrent FSGS plamsa sample in cultured human podocytes cells were probed

Description
In this study we used Genome Wide Transcriptional Modelling (GWTM) to investigate the temporal transcriptional changes during CD4 Th0, Th1 and Th2 differentiation in the first 24 hours after T cell activation. We measured the transcriptional response by RNA seq every four hours for a 24 hour time course. Overall design: WT CD4 T cells were isolated and purified from adult murine spleen. The purified CD4 cells were then set up in culture under three different conditions: Th0, Th1 and Th2. Cells were extracted at 4 hour timepoints during a 24hour timecourse and RNA was extracted for each timepoint under each condition. This RNA was further sequenced to analyse the genome wide transcriptional changes through time under each of the three conditions.

Description
Cyanide is stoichiometrically produced as a co-product of the ethylene biosynthesis pathway, and it is detoxified by the b-cyanoalanine synthase enzyme. The molecular and phenotypical analysis of T-DNA insertional mutants of the mitochondrial b-cyanoalanine synthase CYS-C1 suggests that discrete accumulation of cyanide is not toxic for the plant and does not alter mitochondrial respiration rates, but does act as a strong inhibitor of root hair development. The cys-c1 null allele is defective in root hair formation and accumulates cyanide in root tissues. The root hair defect is phenocopied in wild type plants by the exogenous addition of cyanide to the growth medium and is reversed by the addition of hydroxocobalamin. Hydroxocobalamin not only recovers the root phenotype of the mutant, but also the formation of ROS at the initial step of the root hair tip. Transcriptional profile analysis of the cys-c1 mutant reveals that cyanide accumulation acts as a repressor signal for several genes encoding enzymes involved in cell wall rebuilding and the formation of the root hair tip, as well as genes involved in ethylene signaling and metabolism. Our results demonstrate that mitochondrial b-cyanoalanine synthase activity is essential to maintain a low level of cyanide for proper root hair development.

Description
This is a transcriptomics analysis contributing to a bigger project that tries to shed light on the role of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) as a risk factor for colon cancer (CC). Here we present a gene expression screening of paired tumor and normal colon mucosa samples in a cohort of 42 CC patients, 23 of them with T2DM. Using gene set enrichment, we identified an unexpected overlap of pathways over-represented in diabetics compared to non-diabetics, both in tumor and normal mucosa, including diabetes-related metabolic and signaling processes. An integration with other -omic studies suggests that in diabetics, the local micro-environment in normal colon mucosa may be a factor driving field cancerization which may promote carcinogenesis. Several of these pathways converged on the tumor initiation axis TEAD/YAP-TAZ. Cell culture studies confirmed that high glucose concentrations upregulate this pathway in non-tumor colon cells. In conclusion, diabetes is associated to deregulation of cancer-related processes in normal colon mucosa adjacent to tissue which has undergone a malignant transformation. These data support the existence of the field of cancerization paradigm in diabetes and set a new framework to study link between diabetes and cancer.
